'We went to Hungarian schools in Slovakia, first only to give a different kind of music lessons. We used texts from books used by Hungarian elementary schools in Slovakia from which we created these Ghymes-sounding songs. These songs work particularly well live, so we did not want to record a studio CD. We wanted give back the feeling what it is like in these concerts for children, which we still do to this day.'
Andor Buják

Ghymes Ensemble was formed in 1984 at Nitra University of Pedagogy in Slovakia. Initially they played Hungarian folk music but are now extending their repertoire to include music originating in other parts of Eastern and Southern Europe.

They have their own unique style which is continually developing. In addition to the traditional instruments played (violin, viola, dulcimer, bagpipes, contrabass, lute, kalabash zither, Turkish pipe), they also incorporate the saxophone, drums and synthesizer.

They say their objective in the music is to find a commonality between different people, races and religions of the world, and this is why they explore and develop the folk music of different countries. As their band member Andor Buják stated 'If the musicians open up their hearts on the stage, the audience can feel it. That's real magic for us.'
